Getting a Drop of Blood
CAUTION: To reduce the chance of infection:
•Never share a lancet with another person.
•Always use a new, sterile lancet. Lancets are for single use only.
•The OneTouch® UltraSoft™ Blood Sampler should be used by only one person.
•Avoid getting hand lotion, oils, dirt, or debris in or on the lancets and the blood sampler.
STEP 1 Insert a Lancet.
Remove the OneTouch® UltraSoft™ Adjustable Blood Sampler Cap by twisting it counterclockwise.
Insert the lancet into the lancet holder. Push down firmly until the lancet is fully seated in the holder. Do not twist the lancet. To avoid contamination and to prevent the cap from rolling away, set the cap down on a flat surface with its small hole pointing up.
While the lancet is in the OneTouch® UltraSoft™ Adjustable Blood Sampler, twist off the protective disk. Make two full turns to ensure that the lancet separates from the protective disk.
